A SweetHEART of a Day

Ry and I celebrated most of Valentines Day in Dallas.  She had a scheduled Biopsy, Heart Cath, Echo, Labs and EKG.  We received wonderful news that her wedge pressures have come down!  I pray that next month they will continue to show improvement.  This has been the only concerning number in each of her post transplant caths.  But we were thrilled for the good report and now wait for biopsy results today. 
It was another long day that started by arriving at the hospital at 6:15, but once again Ry did great.  We delivered a few valentines to the friends we saw there yesterday, but were anxious to get home to spend some valentines time with Daddy.


Our "Valentine" from Dr. Z.

If only I could get her to look at the camera...


Ry made a crazy monkey for Valentines
 We are thrilled that as we made our way through the 4 month post transplant milestone, this also means that our appointment frequency will be dropping a bit.  We now will head to Dallas every two weeks for checkups and labs and only one a month for a cath and biopsy!  I'm not sure what we'll do on the weeks we stay home, it will be two extra days of the week that we've gained here.  I'm looking forward to it!
For now, we're just loving life at home and count our blessings every day.  We are so grateful!
